The arrival of a new season often brings a sense of excitement, an opportunity for a fresh start. Perhaps no shift is quite as significant, sartorially speaking, as the move from summer to fall. It’s time to look beyond the beach and begin embracing real clothes again, even off-duty. For our September shoot, we traveled to a farm in upstate New York for a lesson in the power of layering and timeless tailoring, no tie required. Focusing on separates in luxe fabrications that marry form with function, a new sense of casual elegance emerges that feels at once modern yet rooted in tradition.
